Represented in the anthology are such distinguished spell weavers as Edgar Allen Poe (\"The Black Cat\"), Wilkie Collins (\"A Terribly Strange Bed\"), Henry James (\"Sir Edmund Orme\"), Guy de Maupassant (\"Was It a Dream?\"), O. Henry (\"The Furnished Room\"), Rudyard Kipling (\"They\"), and H.G. Wells (\"Pollock and the Porroh Man\"). Included as well are such modern masters as Algernon Blackwood (\"Ancient Sorceries\"), Walter de la Mare (\"Out of the Deep\"), E.M. Forster (\"The Celestial Omnibus\"), Isak Dinesen (\"The Sailor-Boys Tale\"), H.P. Lovecraft (\"The Dunwich Horror\"), Dorothy L.
